The problem with most answers to questions like this is that they try to it into perspective by relating it to things normal people have no perspective for.
For instance, did you know that,. One trillion dollars would stretch nearly from the earth to the sun. It would take a military jet flying at the speed of sound, reeling out a roll of dollar bills behind it, 14 years before it reeled out one trillion dollar bills. The Megapenny project uses something a lot more common to most of us, a penny. Most people have a few in their pockets or in a jar on the bookshelf and it provides a much better sense of scale.
Place them side by side in a line and they stretch out one foot. One million pennies creates a wall four feet wide, five feet tall and one foot thick.
This wall weighs nearly 6, pounds, or just over three tons! General Education. The digit zero 0 is important for counting large numbers. The larger the number is, the more zeros it has.
Starting at 1,, large numbers have groups of 0s in them. Every time you jump up to the next level of number, another 0 is added. The number one thousand has three 0s in it 1, The number 10, has four 0s in it 10, The number one hundred thousand has five 0s in it , The number one million has six 0s in it 1,, Every time you have a full group of three zeros, like in one million 1,, , you use a comma to separate them. Each large number always adds a zero to the number immediately preceding it, starting at 1, That means that the next large number, ten thousand 10, , has four zeros.
The same goes when you get into the millions. One million has six zeros 1,, Ten million has seven zeros 10,, One hundred million has eight zeros ,, One million has six zeros 1,, , while one billion has nine zeros 1,,, Panache People City Life.
